The IDEAL Electrical 45-222 stainless steel NM Cable Stripper is designed to strip #12 and #14 solid wire, 12/2 and 14/2 NM cable and cut and rethread bolt sizes 6-32 and 8-32. The 45222 is designed to provide the user with the ultimate comfort with ergonomic cushioned handles with a coiled spring action return to reduce hand-fatigue. Easy to read laser-etched markings make it a snap to choose the right groove for the application while the stainless steel body and formed ground cutting blades offer superior corrosion. Wire looping holes strategically integrated into the blades allow the user to quickly loop wire ends to fit on screw terminals and the serrated pliers nose makes quick work of grasping, gripping and pulling.
